Tim,
Your explanation is very helpful. There is a complication though:
The function is actually called from another function (from a chain of
functions). Here is the measurement from a simplified situation:
- using JFFoundationModule
- using FESetModule
-
- n=100;
- function test(n)
0 fes=FESetH8(conn=rand(JFInt,n,
8))
112 conn1::JFIntMat=zeros(JFInt,nfense(fes),1);
6383704 for j=1:size(fes.conn,1)
0 getconn!(fes,conn1,j);
- end
0 return true
- end
-
- test(n)
- clear_malloc_data()
- n=100000;
- test(n)
As you can see the loop over the rows of the array fes.conn allocates
substantial amount of memory.
Here is the type: https://gist.github.com/PetrKryslUCSD/794f521a8e5b057e5e4e
